Swing-Out Garage Doors

This wood carraige-style garage door offers the look, as well as the swing-open functionality, of the original. Real Carriage Doors offers a variety of styles for both sliding and bi-folding models, all constructed of solid wood members and embellished with Craftsman details.

Composite Garage Doors

Glass-Paneled Garage Doors

For a contemporary look, consider a garage door that features clean lines and translucent glass panels. Without sacrificing security, a glass-paneled door admits light during the day and when backlit at night, radiates like a jewel.

Solid Wood Garage Doors

Steel Garage Doors

Material does not determine style, a fact evidenced by these classic carriage house garage doors in steel. The best are made of two layers of galvanized steel, either primed and painted with a top coat or clad with a composite material.

Fiberglass Garage Doors

This fiberglass door from PolDoor is made of impact-resistant molded fiberglass with 2"-thick sections and 25-gauge flush steel interior skin. It comes in six designer colors with optional wood tones (oak, mahogany and walnut).

Vinyl Garage Doors

If you live in a coastal area, vinyl is a good choice; it will not rust, fade, dent or crack. This door from Wayne Dalton features twin 20-gauge steel C-channel construction, full PVC color throughout, and R-10 polyurethane insulation bonded to the vinyl skin.

Wood Garage Doors
